If you are organizing a Halloween costume party for your children,
then it is quite normal to give out goody bags to each guest when the party is over and it is time for everyone to leave.
These party favors can be whatever you decide and here are some great things
that you can include in each goody bag that will bring a smile to each little face.
First, Choose the Right Goody Bag
You will need some sort of container to place your items in and a way to
carry on the Halloween theme is to choose a goody that is decorated with Halloween images. You can buy bags that have pictures
of pumpkins, witches, and ghosts printed on the front of them. It is best to decide how many things you want to put in each
bag so that you can get the right size.
Halloween Themed Decals
Children love stickers and they will simply adore getting a batch of decals.
You will be able to find lots of Halloween-themed stickers with spiders, bugs, pumpkins, and bats. Choose between getting
large individual stickers or a sheet that has a variety of images. You can even buy fingernail decals that are small
enough to fit on children’s fingers. This will certainly keep them entertained.
Add Some Great Candy
A goody bag is not complete without a few pieces of high quality candy.
You really can’t go wrong with your choice. The best thing to do is to buy several variety packs of regular candy
like Tootsie Rolls, Hershey's kisses, fun size Skittles, etc., and then add in some Halloween inspired treats like eyeball
candy, gummy worms, and vampire teeth.
Halloween is the time when bobbing for apples is a really popular game.
During the party, children will have lots of fun trying to retrieve apples from a container of water without using their
hands. As a great party favor to add to the goodie bag they will take home, you could also add a toffee apple.
Give Each Child a Halloween Cookie
Another kind of food that kids really enjoy are Halloween cookies. If
you are a whiz in the kitchen, you can decide to bake a selection of cookies. You can invest in a bat- or ghost-shaped
cookie cutter and even use some piped icing to add each child’s initial so that they have their own personalised cookie
to take home. Or you can go the easy route and pick up some ready made decorated cookies from the supermarket.
Add Some Silly Bandzs into the Mix
Silly Bandzs are wrist bands that are made from silicone. They come
in a whole host of shapes and colors and you can even get glowing bands. These are really popular with children of all ages,
so they would make an excellent addition to a goody bag. You get quite a lot in each packet, so they work out to be quite
cost effective.
This Halloween, be sure to send your party guests home in style with a perfectly
selected goody bag containing an excellent balance of candy and toys.
